Kicking
off the UDS-P event was Mark Shuttleworth's keynote where he announced that
he was pushing Canonical and the Ubuntu development community to develop versions
of Ubuntu and the Unity interface for mobile phones, more tablet-like devices,
and even TVs. His goal is to see Ubuntu Linux on these new form factors in two
years for the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release.

Also from that day was lots of ARM talk, including bringing QEMU/KVM
to the ARM Cortex A15, which is the next-gen ARM processor that is much faster
than the A9 and offers up a whole lot of new capabilities. Monday also included
talks about Ubuntu on tablets, improving the Xen support in Ubuntu 12.04, and integrating
systemd interfaces into Ubuntu (while not using systemd outright) and the eventual
support for PackageKit too.

To help third-party developers, Ubuntu
will produce more documentation and a stable API. This stable API is just
meant for the key desktop libraries and not for kernel interfaces, which are subject
to change on a per-release basis due to the lack of upstream interest in a stable
kernel API/ABI.
